From Bolt scooters to golf carts, the future of short distance travel is full of interesting surprises! In this talk, we’ll discuss how the Valhalla routing engine can be used for low-speed vehicle routing. As a motivating example, we’ll discuss a real problem faced by two municipal governments in the US who needed to offer safe routing for golf carts, how this led to the development of a low-speed vehicle profile for Valhalla, and the challenges we faced along the way.
